The entry gates to portal vaults can now set their long feature description via
the desc_long property of the Lua marker. The lets the portal vault code be enitrely self contained, rather than having to have a portion of the description in dat/descript/features.txt. Also, in theory each different entry vault could have its own version of the description, or it could even programatically vary after the entry vault had been generated (since it can be a function in addition to a string). Also, since the gate's short feature description is no longer needed as a key into the features database, the short description doesn't need to be the same for each entry vault. The way I put the descriptions into the .des files is a bit clunky, but when I tried to use the Lua multi-line string quote ([[string]]) each line displayed by Crawl was indented one space. git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/trunk@8001 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573
